I didn't notice the very tiny insect on this Seaside Arrow Grass until I looked at my telemacro photo a bit later. Probably couldn't have got a macro shot of it, anyway, as I was already standing right on the edge of a wetland. Have not yet identified it. Taken at Slack Slough, near Red Deer, on 2 June 2013. Could it possibly be a Twenty-spotted Ladybug / Psyllobora vigintimaculata? I don't know if anyone can make an ID from such a distant shot.
Yesterday, I was out on a full-day bus trip to the Red Deer Wetlands Area, NW of Calgary. I think it was about an hour and a half's drive to get there. This was an annual outing arranged through the nature group that I belong to, and each year is to a different place. The Red Deer Wetlands Area is made up of Slack Slough (our first stop), the McKenzie Trails area (our second stop) and lastly the Kerry Woods Nature Center and Gaetz Lake Sanctuary, where we spent the last two hours of the day. The latter was such a beautiful area, wonderfully laid out, with several viewing decks around the lake. Some of us chose to walk the whole way round the huge lake (further than I had expected, lol!). A couple of Moose certainly made it more than worth the effort. We were so lucky that the rain stayed away until just the last few minutes of our walk, and then the heavens opened. The forecast had been for thunder showers morning and afternoon, but it just remained overcast till the last moment - hence a lot of photos that came out blurry, ha. A great trip, well-organized - thanks so much for all your hard work, Lynne! - and it was so good to see various friends that I hadn't seen for ages, as well as those whom I see often. It's raining here this morning, but I really, really hope that the forecast for tomorrow turns out to be accurate, as three of us are heading north to Edmonton (roughly a three-hour drive) for an exciting day!

It was so lucky that a friend discovered this tiny orange fungus (macro shot) when we were on a botanizing trip to Spirit Rocks Sanctuary near Rimbey, Alberta, on June 26th. This is a forest north of the city, that is under The Nature Conservancy of Canada and belongs to Joanne Susut. Joanne inherited this land, which she has named Spirit Rocks Sanctuary, from her parents and has donated it to the Nature Conservancy of Canada. It was about two and a half hours' drive north of Calgary, to near Rimbey. The day started off with rain and ended with rain, but luckily not a drop fell while we were walking. Four of us went from Calgary and we met up with three delightful and very knowledgable ladies there. Thanks so much, Joanne, for letting us explore your land - we appreciated it greatly and enjoyed spending this time with you and your friends.
I have seen several mushrooms at various places, but not the photogenic kind, at all! I guess it is still fairly early in July and the peak of the fungi season isn't till August. Even so, I would have thought that we'd have seen a few more than we have seen by now. There was a day trip today to one of my favourite forests, but I decided I wouldn't even bother to go to the meeting place, as no one else turned up yesterday, apparently, for a botanizing day to another of my favourite places - neither of which I can drive to, and even if I could, I know I'd never find my way out of the forest back to my car, ha!
Yesterday when processing my after dinner dip in front of the television I thought I felt something in my hair so I rubbed it a few times. With in 5 mininute I felt something in my neck reaction: "same ol' g". I thought I am getting grazy because I couldn't find the source of what's causing the itchy feeling.
Half an hour later I decided to do something more usefull than watching television and took a seat at my desk. When I pulled down my sweather a bit I spotted this lovely ladybug chilling on it. So he was the little bastard who was causing the itch.
But the lovely bastard directly passed me the idea for this weeks subject. I decided to put him in one of our flowers to take some pictures and after a few shots he decided to fly away. After all I have photos and the lovely bug is now somewhere in my house finding a place to go in hibernation.

My friend,Tom at www.flickr.com/photos/tomjaynes/5567622205/WT'Sphotos,has posted a beautiful pink Dogwood,which he says is "scrawny'. Well this is a sprig of my scrawny white Dogwood. I 've babied it ever since we've lived here,and it was looking healthier until strong winds caused from one of the hurricanes a few years back pushed it up by the roots. Lee pulled it back straight,and tied it off with a rope,but it's never quite been the same.
Like Tom said about his,I can't bring myself to replace it.
It bears the marks of my Saviour,and that's what I think of every time I see it sprout it's tiny little blooms.
I brought this sprig inside,and used a lamp and my tripod to get this shot.
Another one of this sanderling in the last light of the evening last weekend at Rodeo Lagoon. He (or she) employed an interesting feeding strategy that I hadn't witnessed for them before - since this is along the shoreline of a lagoon and the water is maybe a cm or two deep, this little guy was just putting his beak down and plowing forward like a bulldozer. Fascinating and fun to watch!

So one day we went downstairs and my shoes were missing from the shoe rack. The ryokan owner loaned me these to get to the shoe store a few blocks away. These were, oh, 4 sizes too small?
love this !

From a warmer day.
Found this itsy bitsy snapper on a short walk down to Carson Slough. he seemed confused. He was doing a bad job at crossing the sidewalk(or perhaps more tackling the grass wall that surrounded it) so we gave him a hand.
He was maybe 2" long at most.
